Review of Average Joe

Average Joe (2023– )
5/10
Great premise horrible execution
3 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
While I actually did enjoy the first few episodes the show slowly begins to unravel in the worse way possible as it progresses. The acting, writing, directing and screenplay are all severely lacking with numerous scenes falling flat with dull performances and poorly written lines.

The plot for this show is constantly undermined by the flaws listed above, their are so many scenes that come off as out of place, unbelievable or poorly written sometimes all three. Michael Trucco is one of the few people here with a decent script, Deon Cole starts off fine but towards the middle begins to struggle with a far more serious role with the bulk of the blame falling on the director. A lot of the arguments and drama seem poorly written and completely unrealistic. For example Joe's character is traumatized to the point of contemplating turning himself in after witnessing a murder even though he's killed and dismembered two people prior to this scene. The rest of the cast suffer the from the same sadly as these inconsistency constantly dragged down the quality of this show.

In closing this show ultimately reverts back to the same generic soap opera drama that this platform is known for, the only difference is the violence and cheap special effects.
